Gosh, where did July go?
And it is slowly melting into the month of August. July….the uneventful days, the days meeting new friends, cloudy, stormy and rainy and sunshine in between. Yes I know, another 31 days to go before the start of the BER months. Not really looking forward to August since I am pretty sure it’ll be another stormy month for us. But there is something nice about the changing leaves in the calendar. You wish that dream you had would finally come true. You wish that your health would finally go back to normal. And you wish that everything falls into place. Does it ever though?
Saying goodbye to July and saying hello to August. My monthly ritual of a blog. Something that would summarize the days and the month about to end and maybe something more of a surprise in the coming days of August.
I am almost at the finish line of my Goodreads challenge for this year. I just viewed my profile at Goodreads and it says I have about 923 ratings (3.74 average), 289 reviews, # 56 top reviewers and around 1,023 books read since joining, back in 2011. A well-traveled journey in reading so to speak. I tend to favor historical fiction and memoirs. I love learning about other people’s lives. History has that appeal that contemporary books don’t have. My most read authors are Robin Cook and James Patterson with 28 books each followed by Luanne Rice and Richard Paul Evans with 22 and 21 books successively. Kristin Hannah and Rosamunde Pilcher come next with 16 books each. I didn’t even know that Goodreads has these features, a total number of all books you’ve read through the years. I only follow the reading challenge each year. I follow 19 authors and I have 58 friends but not all of them are readers. some are just there with updated profiles but no list of books read.
When I talk about books, I can’t seem to stop. Happy August month everyone!
